Tomb Contained

Famous quotes containing the words tomb and/or contained:

“A best-seller is the gilded tomb of a mediocre talent.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)

“Yet there is a mystery here and it is not one that I understand: without the sting of otherness, of—even—the vicious, without the terrible energies of the underside of health, sanity, sense, then nothing works or can work. I tell you that goodness-what we in our ordinary daylight selves call goodness: the ordinary, the decent—these are nothing without the hidden powers that pour forth continually from their shadow sides. Their hidden aspects contained and tempered.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
